Blue_Inigo 02/09/21 4:37:11 PM #9:	Pretty shitty to patent a game mechanic. Imagine if Dark Souls patented the bonfire system or Capcom patented combos back when SF2 came out. Games are always taking from others and putting their own spin on it --- "This is your last dance." <cite>Blue_Inigo posted [p:950460548] in Warner Bro...

nemu 02/09/21 4:42:57 PM #13:	I think you need to have the mind of a roleplayer for it to be particularly interesting. I honestly couldn't tell you a single significant encounter in that game. They're just all the same archetypes with a few particular variations each. As in-game AI learning gets better, it could become an absolutely fantastic gimmick, but it's currently up to the imagination of the player. <cite>nemu posted [p:950460757] in Warner Bro...

Tyranthraxus 02/09/21 4:56:39 PM #19:	Blue_Inigo posted... Are you sure about that? Namco had that mini-game in loading screens patent uncontested for the longest There's an exception for game mechanics that are themselves an invention as well as generic software patents. I'd have to see the application to figure it out but seeing as minigames are themselves not an invention and neither are loading screens it would seem unlikely to hold up to a strong challenge. Something like the Dreamcast VMUs would have a stronger legal basis for patents. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:950461261] in Warner Bro...
